  1. http://newsfeed.leedsvirtualnewsroom.co.uk/2014/02/bridgewater-place-junction-closure-today.html Leeds is going to be busy this afternoon and this evening with roads round Bridgewater Place closed due to the wind. Heavy rain here at the moment with strong winds and cold.
  2. One looks to be on a collision course for the centre of Leeds. Dark skies approaching. All this from virtually nothing 30 minutes ago!
  3. Quite incredible to watch the storms bubbling up all around. Another huge tower west of Leeds. Dark skies to the south and more storms to the east.
  4. Yes, once this first lot had gone through there looks to be more following. I'm not sure where the lightning is but I've heard at least 5 rumbles in the last 10 mins or so.
  5. Another rumble, definitely a good day to be high up in a west facing office!
  6. Some huge clouds around today..... Rumble of thunder as I type
  7. Black as night to the west of Leeds. Think the cell will miss the centre to im guessing headingley area gonna get soaked!
  8. It looks like it is back-filling with these storms now joining the main band.
  9. Yes, as the skies darken to my south I can feel my pulse in my temples. Strange feeling, not painful but odd.
  10. That's the yellow area of rain I was on about..... never seen that on the beeb forecasts before.
  11. It was yellow too over much of Manchester/Leeds/Sheffield/York. Not seen a forecast like that before on BBC.
  12. Clouds are building in West Yorkshire. Very muggy with a slight breeze. Definitely feels like something is going to go bang this evening
  13. A quick shower in the Dewsbury area just now. Coming in from a south easterly direction. Skies temporarily very dark.
  14. Dark skies now over south west Leeds (Morley area). Wouldn't be surprised to see some rain (and hopefully more!) in the next half hour or so.
  15. Some larger cloud structures now starting appear to the west of Leeds with increasingly dark bases. Still sunny are warm but now quite breezy.
  16. Does the motorway follow a natural contour in the landscape? Was it easier for engineers to built the road along a valley bottom or something? The M4 also seems to be a regular weather barrier/border along with the M1 in Yorkshire.
  17. Looking at the warning the majority of west Yorkshire and parts of North Yorkshire are encompassed in the amber area. I'm guessing the prediction is to be spawned to the west of the pennines and slowly drift east/north east before dying away
  18. Quite a good day weather-wise for me. Woke by thunder at around 5.30am which continued for around 2 hours. Some very close lightning with instant cracks of thunder. Torrential rain left many roads flooded including the busy A644 where a bus got stuck in deep water. Currently we have almost clear blue skies albeit with haze in the distance. Temperatures now up to 21C and rising rapidly. Still feels very humid out there. Looking forward to a possible round two this evening!
  19. Is that thin line of rain that is approaching Truro going to expand into anything? Could this be the instability that kick starts some storms later this evening?
  20. Again looking at XC weather wind directions. I still think the Bristol area is the area to watch along with north Wales. Around Bristol in particular you have Filton with 10mph NNW and then just a few miles away Lulsgate 10mph SSE. An area round the wash is also now showing signs of opposing wind directions so could be something to look out for.
